Hi, I'm Jack from Twinkl and today we're looking at how to write an acrostic poem. The first step, if you haven't done so already, is to decide on topic. If you decide to write an acrostic poem about the summer it's as simple as writing S-U-M-M-E-R along the left-hand side to form the opening letter of each line of the poem. The beauty of acrostic poems, is that the topic creates the structure for your child to write, making this perfect activity for any subject or reason, be it to write poem about the character from book, mathematical skill, holiday or seasonal event or just about anything really. Once your child has the outline of an acrostic poem, either one they've written themselves or template from the Twinkl website, try putting together word bank of related descriptions, adjectives and similes, thinking around the topic will prepare your child before they start writing. Here's few ideas jotted down for 'Summer.' With the subject written vertically and bank of ideas to help us, it's now time to start writing. Starting with the letter decided my opening line will start with the word 'sun' as it starts with the letter and is relevant to the topic of summer. I've written 'sun shining bright.' As continue, can decide to make my poem rhyme or it doesn't have to rhyme at all. Now the rhyming scheme could be 'AABB' which means the first and second lines rhyme, or where the first and third and second and fourth lines rhyme. I've decided want to rhyme bright with light, so if want an AABB rhyming scheme, could write 'Under the burning light' but if it's an rhyme scheme then could write, 'Melting in the light.' Have go yourself. Try filling out an acrostic poem template or try writing one of your own.
